[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Beijing Grand View Garden (Updated Jul)

The grass is green and the flowers are blooming. Grand View Garden, a fairyland of dreams. The rippling lake is like a mirror, and the green pavilions adorn the sky. The winding paths lead to secluded paths, and the elegant rhythm sets off the text. The silk is embroidered with beautiful silk, and the precious mirror reflects your gracefulness. Deep love and talented in poetry. The beautiful flowers bloom as the sun sets, and the drunken moon follows the distant mountains. The dreamlike scenery is boundless and the mind flies away. This poem is taken from AI

Soooo many flowers! Definitely go in the spring but be prepared for a bit of a crowd as every grandma in Beijing is out trying to get her flower pictures as well. Still such a good time and I’d give the same advice as always, if you wait a second you will get the chance to take your people free photos. The park is on the edge of the forbidden city but I wouldn’t recommend both in one day, the park isn’t that large but the forbidden city deserves its own day. You could visit Tianamen Square after though, if you start at the top and come out the other side you would come out near Tiananmen. Even if you just do the park it’s lovely and you should get enough pictures to not feel too bad about not checking out anything else that day!

At dawn's first light, stepping into the garden reveals Daguan Tower's double-eaved roof softened under fresh snow, where vermilion pillars clash dramatically with pristine white drifts in classical aesthetic perfection. Ascending the tower unveils the entire garden transformed into an ink-wash scroll: the frozen Qinfang Creek meanders like a silver ribbon, while snow-capped Taihu rock formations resemble crouching jade qilins. Ice crystals cling to bronze eaves bells, their chimes scattering snowflakes with each breeze, startling two or three crows whose wingbeats shower golden dust in the morning sun. The western window offers the finest spectacle—pushing it open reveals wintersweet blossoms, amber petals cradling crystal snow, their cold fragrance mingling with frost, evoking the imperial lantern-lit snowscape of Yuanchun's homecoming. 🏮 Happy Red Court: Rouge Stains in a Glass World Passing through the moon gate, Happy Red Court's opulence becomes ethereal under snowfall. Crimson lanterns cast rosy glows on snow-drifted walls, like the lingering sunset on Baoyu's snow-dusted cloak. The ancient crabapple tree stands armored in ice, its glittering icicles contrasting with the faded "Happy Red and Swift Green" plaque, whispering of faded glory. Children's laughter erupts—a snowball fight near the east wing, their scarlet woolen caps bobbing like berries, shattered snow spraying like Qingwen's scattered pearl hairpins when she tore her fan. 🌫️ Winter's Cipher: The Dream's Soul in Snowscape Symphony of senses: Footsteps crunching on corridor snow harmonize with pingtan melodies from warm pavilions, when suddenly red wintersweet bursts through Green Lattice Nunnery's wall, fulfilling the chapter "Glass World, White Snow, and Crimson Plum." Time's wrinkles: Bamboos in Bamboo Lodge bow under snow, light filtering through leaves carving seal-script shadows on snow—uncollected verses from Daiyu's poetry draft. Hidden warmth: A tea stall's roasted sweet potato fragrance curls around temple incense smoke, weaving enduring human vitality through winter's chill. "When wintersweet's cold perfume drifts over glazed tiles, and children's laughter shatters crabapple ice—the winter Grand View Garden remains half a lyric Cao Xueqin left to this world, awaiting footsteps in snow to complete its rhyme." Winter Tips: Magic hour: 7:00-9:00 after snowfall, when dawn gilds Daguan Tower's roof and mist rises golden from snow. Essentials: Anti-slip boots for snowy corridors, hand warmers for lingering admiration. Literary pilgrimage: Trace Baoyu's inscribed landmarks with "Dream of the Red Chamber," where Green Lattice Nunnery's wintersweet echoes Chapter 49. 🔱Discover the world's wonders🔱

20241113 Beijing Grand View Garden Beijing Grand View Garden is located at No. 12 Nancaiyuan Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. In 1983, as CCTV was preparing to shoot the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", it began to prepare for the construction of the Grand View Garden. The Beijing Grand View Garden has been a vegetable field managed by the "Jia Shu Shu" since the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. After that, through the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and even after liberation, this place was still mainly planted with vegetable fields. After the 1960s, it was converted into the South Vegetable Garden Nursery. In 1996, Beijing Grand View Garden was approved by the Beijing Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau as the "Beijing Red Mansion Culture and Art Museum." When I was a child, I secretly followed the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions". Now that I grow up, I can visit the garden as I please! In the drizzle of early winter, enter from the south gate, pass through the winding paths, and first arrive at Qinfang Bridge. After crossing the Qinfang Bridge, you arrive at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where bamboos are the most abundant. "Dense phoenix tails, faint dragon roars, and a sea of ​​green bamboos surround it." Green bamboo symbolizes the valuable quality of perseverance, elegance in its nobility and vitality in its subtlety. Daiyu's poetic name "Xiaoxiang Concubine" embodies this kind of noble and naturally unworldly, graceful and charming charm. After coming out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, go to Yihongyuan! Yihong Courtyard. During the Lantern Festival, Yuanchun did not like the word "Green Jade" (because it was a reference to Daiyu), so she changed it to "Yihong Kuailü" and named it "Yihong Courtyard". Baoyu was therefore called "Yihong Master". Coming out from the back door is Longcui Temple. Longcui Temple is the place where Miaoyu practices in the Grand View Garden. The classic scene in the play is drinking tea and begging for plum blossoms. One does not ask for the dew in the bottle of the Bodhisattva, but for the plum blossoms outside the threshold of Chang'e. The Grand View Garden is the villa built by the Jia family for Yuanchun's visit to her parents in the Dream of the Red Chamber. Yuanchun named the garden "Grand View Garden" and the plaque in the main hall reads "Gu En Si Yi". After Yuanchun came home to visit her parents, she ordered Baoyu and Zhuchai to live in the garden. The garden is small and exquisite, with a new view at every step. It is very pleasant to take a walk in the rain!
